WHEN ARE YOU MAKING MORE PICTURES SIR
ALSO WE MUST TALK

Several ideas have been percolating in the back of my mind. Nothing has yet bubbled over to demand creation yet, but I suspect something will pipe up eventually. That tends to be how it works with me these days. As I've said before, I refuse to force anything anymore. The result is much more satisfying if I just let it come in it's own time. The downside, of course, is that this may take several months.
And yes, I've missed you sir.

I always say that the sky is so full of mysteries like the sea or more... Extraordinary !!

quantum fucking leap......This is reminiscent of the works of my friend Lynn Curlee. Β Β You are really going somewhere with this mate. Β The ships are so stably designed, too.
I have always wanted to see you draw like this

Proper inspiration and motivation combined with making sure I'm not being too lazy about things. Takes me approximately twice as long, but four times the result. One only knows what would happen if I bothered to spend the better part of a week tinkering with something. That's where the rub is, though. My will to actually see something huge and involved through tends to wilt after a bit. The stories I've tried to write are good example. I start out with this great tale in mind, and eventually it falls off due to my energy and zeal for the thing dropping out on me.
Sometimes I have to prove to myself that I actually am a better artist than I think I am. Or, more accurately, that I should not focus on merely getting the idea into image, but to slow down and make it truly as I see it rather than a half-born compromise.

That happens to me more than you might believe. Β I commend your drive to keep going, you must not stop (or else.)

This picture.....legitimately makes my heart hurt. My mind came up with an entire story....an entire thought of how life, and the journey it is, and the incredible things we can see all around of if we take the time to slowly look, has all been replaced for the sake of speed. A skip button....faster and faster transportation simply existing to skip us from point A to point B in as little time as possible. Even when we vacation the journey of getting there has lost it's importance.....it's all about the destination. We rush and rush towards the "End" with absolutely no worry about the journey it takes to get there. "Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence" Our lives have become nothing more than the voice.....the looking and the silences in between are "skipped"for the sake of hearing the next voice quicker ....a rush to the next new thing...the next destination...the next "End"Β
Never in my lifetime will i be able to be on one of these great metallic beasts...which glide near silently across the surface of the world as man's greatest triumph....not over nature....but with nature. Using our brains, to better view and enjoy her beauty as we go about of own little adventures. Instead I am forced to try and glimpse what i can through the small windows at the blur that passes for scenery.
Oh how I wish i lived back in the days where the getting there meant more than where you were going.

As Hugo Eckener, that great Zeppelin man, once said: One does not travel by airship, one journeys.
Your sentiment is well-shared with me. I often find it ironic in these days of instantaneous, real-time communication that we are still so obsessed with traveling long distances at top speed. Our technology today, where people can have meetings or conferences, what have you, without even leaving one's home, has made the need for faster and faster travel by air somewhat irrelevant. Why be so bothered with getting exactly where you need to be, unless with legitimate reason, when you can just as easily slow down and still communicate with virtually anyone anywhere?
Yes, the screaming metal tubes in the sky are efficient in a certain way. But they are awful, packing as many people as possible into a tiny space. Yes, they generally fly above the weather, but then again it makes the fall that much further. Airplanes, unlike airships, will plunge out of the air if their engines stop. Flight is a wonderful thing, it's a shame no-one can really truly enjoy it as so many once did. Even airplanes themselves used to be slower, used to offer a closer view. It does bring up the question: At what price progress? Of course, half the issue is the human want of ever greater "instant" gratification. Why spend three days flying when it only takes twelve hours? I want to get there now! I want it all now...
Ah, humans are funny creatures...
